We can fact check Brexit lies, & debunk their conspiracy theories, & that's what we've done for five years.

But there is one myth that Brexiters still cling on to, & that is "sovrinty", because it has no evidence, & it can't be fact checked.

That is why Johnson's govt announced that it is "prioritising British sovereignty" over everything else in Brexit trade negotiations with the EU; pitching the undefinable as the marker against which we must measure their negotiating success.

Things that matter less than sovrinty acc. to Johnson's govt:

GDP
Jobs
Food shortages
Medicine shortages
Doctor shortages
Nurse shortages
Social care
Service sector
Automotive sector
Scotland
N Ireland

Nothing measurable matters.

Only sovrinty
